In 2005, then-Sen. Hillary Clinton co-sponsored the Flag Protection Act of 2005, which would have made burning the flag a crime punishable by a year in prison and a $100,000 fine. The bill was never considered by Congress.

Clinton and her co-sponsor, Robert Bennett, R-Utah, later voted against a proposed 2006 Constitutional amendment that would prohibit damaging the flag. It fell one vote short of the necessary two-thirds majority, according to The Washington Post.

Should burning or otherwise damaging the American flag be legal?
